A:
I have had a couple of these for years and haven't been able to break them yet. They are called a glass minnow, but aren't made out of glass as one would think of it.
Details:
Should I get one of these for trolling for walleye? If so, what colours?Answers
Top 1000 Contributor
A:
I have had my best luck fishing for Walleye using the standard black/Gold Rapalas, although I have also had luck with the clown color along with blue/silver.A:
I use these lures casting for walleye and there definetly the best lure in my box. Two best colors are glass clown, and glss blue minnow.A:
you might want something that dives a little deeper because this would be so close to your boat that nothing woulld bite it but for colors it depends on your local baitfish get something that looks like a small bluegill or perch if your in murky watter I suggest something a little more flashy than you would normally use in clearer water because they will puick up light even if there isnt very muchwhere when you are in clearer water use something with a duller color to it hope this helpsA:
some guys in colorado, usa caught alot of walleye at night back in april one used a firetiger colored lure that i know. the you tube video is titled 'Monster Walleye Fishing; Chatfield Res in Colorado Spring 2011' if you want to see the types they used.A:
I would say no. Husky jerks are fished with a sweep pause, or twitching presentation. They get a little bit of wobble when retrieved steadily, but they draw a majority of their strikes on the pause, because they suspend instead of rising. I may be wrong, but IMO there are much better lure choices out there for trolling.
A:
If you can find the Crawdad Color anywhere...They work Great in Georgian Bay for Walleyes and PikeAnswers
Top 1000 Contributor
A:
I think color is a matter of preference, but as to size I would use the 3/8 & 1/2 for Northerns.A:
fire tiger for a little bit of the darker water and silver for the more clear water and i would go with the 10cm one and another size up from that alsoA:
Crawdad (Discontinued) and the Silver Blue with Orange Belly work greatA:
this is a great lure for northerns...color though is going to be dictated by your conditions, sun / overcast, and water clarity. I keep several of these and for example go with a bright bait silver on cloudy overcast days or after rain storm runoff makes the water muddy. Have a few types in size and color is always the best way to approach any artificial bait hard or soft. I just try one I think will work, cast it out a dozen times then experiment with other colors trying and tying until the fish tell you what they want.Answers

A:
The 3 1/8 and 4 inch are my favorite (most of the time I use the 4in). Glass perch, silver blue, and glass minnow are consistent producers as far as color goes.
Top 50 Contributor
A:
I like the HJ6. It isn't so big that it's difficult to fish around cover and not so small that it can't be used for crappie if needed. The HJ8 is my go-to size for Pike and lunker bass.Answers
Top 10 Contributor
A:
HJ06 dives to 4' on the cast and 6' on the troll.A:
The HJ-6 are 2 1/2 in long, about 1/8 oz and dive to 4-6 ft with 6 lb line. I troll these for Crappe with excellent results
Top 50 Contributor
A:
The HJ6 dives to about 2-4 feet, but does float to the surface (slightly positive bouancy) if left alone for a few minutes.The HJ-8 dives from about 3-5 feet.
Answers
Top 1000 Contributor
A:
If I understand what you are asking it pertains to the size of the lure, and I am a believer in bigger catches bigger Bass by eliminating some of the smaller ones from striking.A:
3 is the best
Top 10 Contributor
A:
two work and three work great.A:
2 hooks work more i find
Top 500 Contributor
A:
Two hooks, the mouth is very soft and I typically find that a bass can unhook easier with three hooks for some reason. I never have problems with two.
Top 500 Contributor
A:
It just depends on where you are fishing. In big lakes use three hooks, and on small waters or ponds, use two hooksAnswers
A:
Yes it will
Top 10 Contributor
A:
it's excellent for bass. especially largemouth.A:
i have no doubt that it will, but i prefer the #10...... the #12 is only a tad bigger, so i promise you that a big bass won't be bashful about eating it, as i routinely catch bass on lures that are almost twice that size.....i would just add that you should always take the "match the hatch" factor into consideration when choosing a lure's size..
A:
In CT, MA, VT and NY I have had the best luck with HJ08 and HJ10 in Gold and Glass Perch.
Top 500 Contributor
A:
Yes it will, hopefully you have some big bass where you fish though. Unlike other large baits like poppers and big plastics, a small bass will not hit this. (At least not for me)A:
Yeah it will work well for bass. I would watch out for pike though, I use the HJ 14 for pike and it is very effective. A smaller version might get you more strikes from bass and less from pike but your size would be fine.Answers
A:
I like the HJ08 #22 Gold.A:
dont really know about brown trout specifically but I have found that the clown works on just about everything from bass pike musky I have caught all of these on a clown.Details:
Which color is better?Silver and Black
or
Silver and Blue
Prefer color more?
Answers
A:
i prefer the black and silver but i have still heard good things about silver and blue
Top 10 Contributor
A:
both are pretty good.A:
I have had luck with both. It really seems to depend on the color of the water and the weather. When it is sunny and the water is clear I will try the blue and silver first, and usually have reasonable success.A:
they both are my fav but black and silver is my number 1 blue is my number 2 for sure both are greatA:
Depends on the water for me. Muddy water I like the Silver and Black. Stained I'd go with Silver and Blue. My favorite though would have to be the Fire Tiger.
Top 500 Contributor
A:
Depends on where you're fishing. Check out the water and see what type of bait fish are around. Try and match the color to them. I fish in Florida and mullet are the bait fish. I usully get a gold or silver bodied bait with black back. Works well to get a "natural" color, so I'd say silver and black.A:
I think it depends on the water and what the bass are hunting. The small fish in my lake are hunting silver shad so the silver black works best for me.A:
Silver blue works for me, glass pink clown has produced for me too.
Top 500 Contributor
A:
It just depends on the water clarity. Either color will work just as well as the other. I own both, and have caught just as many bass with both. Where I fish at on Lake Mohave, in Arizona, I use a Glass Perch often and do just as well, as the other colors available
Top 500 Contributor
A:
It depends on the clarity of the water. If it was murky water I'd go with Silver+Blue. But they both are about the same so you can go with whatever you want. I prefer Silver + Blue.Good Luck,

A:
on the cast it dives to 4' and when trolled it dives down to 6'.
Top 500 Contributor
A:
4-5 i believeA:
i'll use any of 3 colors at any time....the glass shad, the black and silver, and the clown...they ALL work!!!!!
A:
I run out 50-75 ft of 6 lb line trolling for crappie and rarely get below 3-4 ft. HJ-6 are my favorite, but I have some HJ-08 & 10 as well- You might try a heavier hook to get it down more.A:
Yes it does dive down to 6 feet depending on how fast you retrieve or troll
Top 1000 Contributor
A:
Hey, I just checked and the 06 is 2 1'2", the 08 is 3 1'2', and the 10 which I use the most is 4".
Top 1000 Contributor
A:
Hi, no the number after is the length of the bait. I believe the 06 is about 3 1/2". I like the 08, thats about 4". Good luck, good jerkbait.1 of 1
